Solo Episode: The Productivity Myth: Why We Feel We're Never Doing Enough

Feb 20, 2025

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never enough? Is resting challenging for you?

In this episode, we’re unpacking The Productivity Trap—why we equate busyness with self-worth and how to break free from the cycle of overworking and underliving.

I’ll share research-backed insights on why our brains crave productivity (and why more work doesn’t always mean better results). Plus, I’ll guide you through tangible tools to help you balance ambition with presence, including:

• The 80% Rule to prevent burnout
• The "Enoughness" Check-In to shift your mindset
• Time-blocking techniques to work with your brain, not against it
• A new definition of productivity that nourishes your whole life

Take a deep breath, press play, and let’s explore how to redefine success on your own terms.
